Felt NEXAR FRD Frameset

FELT NEXAR Aero Frameset – Reserve Yours Today (Fulfillment ETA – May 2026)

The Next Evolution of Aero Performance — Now Available as a Frameset

What if the fastest aero platform FELT has ever created wasn’t limited to complete builds?

What if riders could start with the same WorldTour-level aerodynamic platform and build their dream race bike from the ground up?

Welcome to the FELT NEXAR FRD Frameset — the next generation of aerodynamic road design, now available for custom builds.

Built around the new NEXAR – FRD 12K Carbon Light Frame, this frameset delivers the same cutting-edge aerodynamic performance, ultra-light construction, and progressive geometry as the flagship complete models — while giving riders and builders full control over their drivetrain, wheels, and finishing kit.

Performance Backed by Real Numbers — Not Marketing Hype

FELT engineers didn’t chase flashy claims. They chased measurable performance.

The result is one of the fastest aero road platforms ever created.

• Within 4 watts of the fastest aero bike in the world
• 5% drag reduction compared to the previous AR platform
• 800g frame weight for the ultra-light FRD construction

The takeaway is simple:

The NEXAR frameset delivers elite aerodynamic performance in an incredibly lightweight platform, giving riders the foundation to build a truly world-class race bike.

Geometry Designed for the 99%

Speed only matters if you can maintain it.

The NEXAR introduces a new performance geometry concept developed with professional bike fitters and extensive industry benchmarking.

The goal was simple: build a bike that is fast in the real world, not just the wind tunnel.

Key geometry improvements include:

• Higher stack height → fewer spacers and improved aerodynamics
• Slightly shorter reach → more sustainable rider positioning
• Steeper seat tube angle → efficient power transfer over the bottom bracket
• Balanced proportions across all seven frame sizes

The result is a bike that feels fast, planted, and sustainable over long rides.

This isn’t just aero.

This is aero that works in the real world.

Ultra-Light FRD Carbon Construction

The NEXAR – FRD 12K Carbon Light Frame represents FELT’s most advanced carbon construction.

The frame weighs just 800 grams, achieved through an extremely refined carbon layup designed to maximize stiffness while minimizing weight.

FRD construction includes:

• High modulus fibers including T800, T1000, and T1100 carbon
• Optimized ply orientation for maximum stiffness-to-weight ratio
• Reduced material thickness in high-stress areas
• Advanced molding techniques for aerodynamic shaping

The result is a frame that delivers elite power transfer, aerodynamic efficiency, and race-ready responsiveness.

Integrated Aero Cockpit Included

The NEXAR Frameset includes the new FELT Road 1-Piece Integrated Carbon Cockpit, delivering a clean aerodynamic front end and seamless cable integration.

Features include:

• Fully integrated cable routing
• Aero-optimized shaping
• Ultra-light carbon construction
• Precise steering stiffness for confident handling

Cockpit sizing is matched to frame size for optimal fit:

XXS / XS — 360 / 400mm × 90mm
S / M / L — 380 / 400mm × 100mm
XL / XXL — 400 / 440mm × 110mm

This cockpit platform is also shared with the new FELT BREED, simplifying service and fit adjustments while maintaining a highly integrated aerodynamic design.

Built for Speed — Without Sacrificing Ride Quality

Modern aero bikes should be fast and comfortable.

The NEXAR frame incorporates several features designed to improve long-ride ride quality:

• Lowered seat stays for improved vertical compliance
• Tuned rear triangle carbon construction to absorb road vibration
• Tire clearance up to 32mm for rough roads and varied terrain
• Reinforced bottom bracket area for maximum power transfer

The result is a frame that feels fast, stable, and efficient, even during long, demanding rides.

Aero Engineering in FELT’s DNA

For more than 35 years, FELT has been one of the most respected aerodynamic engineering brands in cycling.

From Olympic gold medals
to Ironman World Championships
to Grand Tour stage victories

FELT has spent decades refining aerodynamic carbon design.

Every generation begins with the same principle:

Aero is our DNA.

The NEXAR platform represents the next evolution of that obsession.
